Ohio State's linebackers were the stars of the 2025 defense, and now both are gone.
James Laurinaitis might not have two athletic freaks anymore, but in their place might still be a room that has a case for being the deepest on the roster. On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis discuss that depth and how it might play out in 2026.
